Abstract
The review of productions of Tambov state academic order “Badge of Honour” of Lunacharsky drama theatre of L.M. Leonov plays “Invasion” (premiere of 3 October 1943), “An Ordinary Man” (22 September 1945), “Golden Carriage” (9 October 1971) is given. Theater reviews of 1940s–1970s written by Tambov authors, among which are teachers of Tambov State Pedagogical Institute (now Derzhavin Tambov State University), are collected and analyzed. The theatrical embodiment features of L.M. Leonov’s dramaturgical works on the stage of the provincial theater are considered. The multi-sided connection of the classic of Russian literature of the 20th century with Tambov land is marked. The dynamics of theatrical and literary regional interest in L.M. Leonov’s dramaturgy is traced. The stylistic features of theatrical reviews by R. Chernyak and L. Yakovlev are revealed. Special attention is paid to the responses of Tambov philology teachers, which allowed us to clarify the range of scientific and educational activities of the university’s teaching staff in different years, to determine the forms of interaction between educational and cultural organizations in the region. The features of the plays and their reflection in the productions are indicated. The stage embodiment’s distinctive features of L. Leonov’s plays’ characters by Tambov actors are determined.
